[01]
Mannaz   - The Self
The Self is the starting point. Examine your relationship with
yourself, for from this relationship flow all relationships with
others. The counsel of this rune is perspective - do not consider
the world in relation to your SELF, be modest in your
accomplishments and do not act from a sense of self-importance.
[01R]
Mannaz   - The Self (Reversed)
This rune reversed indicates a need for honesty with yourself.
Face up, admit, release yourself from false vanities. The counsel
is clear; only by looking inwards can you identify the enemy of
progress. Be warned - avoid self-aggrandisement at all costs. You
are at a new beginning, and to fall for the suble persuasions of
your own ego will lead to nothingness.
[02]
Gebo     - Partnership
Some form of union is indicated by this rune. You must be careful,
however, not to collapse yourself into this union; for true
partnership can only be achieved by equals co-operating wholly.
This message is particularly important when the partnership is
between yourself and your higher soul, or the Divine - The Gods
enter only into equal partnerships. This rune signifies the gift
of freedom, from which all other gifts spring.
[03]
Ansuz    - Signals
This rune puts you on notice that the mechanism of self-change is
attempting to operate - be especially receptive to signals, signs
and portends. Often the message is of a new life unfolding - new
connections and linkages opening up unexpected pathways to change.
On a deeper level, you must listen to the promptings of your inner
self, for we all carry the Divine inside us.
[03R]
Ansuz    - Signals (Reversed)
As one of the cycle runes, Ansuz reversed is telling you that what
appears to be a failure in communication, or a reluctance on your
part to accept something, may in fact be an opportunity. Clean out
the old and allow the new to bloom.
[04]
Othila   - Separation
This is a confirmation of your feeling that certain paths are
diverging, separating in some way. Like the viper, a skin is being
shed. The counsel of this rune is that a radical severance is at
hand, and you should submit to this flow, perhaps even retreat
while the new skin hardens.
This rune is concerned on the physical level with property, or
aquisitions. Be aware, though that you may have to give up your
old skin in order to benefit from the new.
[04R]
Othila   - Separation (Reversed)
Be warned against automatic or 'knee-jerk' reactions to some
situation. Do not be bound by your conditioning; act according to
what feels right. Going with the flow is important here, rigidity
or stubborness is pointless. Radical departures are at hand.
Remember - we do without doing, and everything gets done.
[05]
Uruz     - Strength
Termination and new beginnings. Your present way of life has
outgrown it's usefulness, and the death of this life will release
energy for your re-birth. Uruz is properly the rune of passage, and
as such, part of the cycle of self-transformation. Be aware that a
passage into darkness may be necessary before you once again stand
in the light.
Opportunity often comes disguised as loss, and by sifting through
the ashes you may well find a new perspective.
[05R]
Uruz     - Strength (Reversed)
Missed opportunities are the warning of Uruz. It calls for serious
questioning into the quality of your relationship with your SELF.
Do not be afraid - remember the constant cyclic qualities of nature
and understand that an end for one person is a beginning for another.
[06]
Perth    - Initiation
At a personal level, deep transformational forces are at work here.
This transformation may not be readily apparent to others; after all
becoming WHOLE is a secret process. A sudden revelation may be
indicated, perhaps into how your existing life works.
On the mundane level, surprise gains may be indicated.
[06R]
Perth    - Initiation (Reversed)
Be warned; you expect too much. Do not concentrate on past glories or
hoped-for outcomes - live in the present:- the only time in which self
change can be achieved. You may experience setbacks, delays,
obstructions. Your feeling may be to interpret this as 'bad luck'.
Not so; it is an obstacle course, a challenge specific to the
initiation you are being offered. Stay centered, accept the humour of
the situation, and carry on regardless.
[07]
Nauthiz  - Constraint
The lesson of this rune is the necessity of dealing with or
confronting a severe constraint. The implicit message here is that
such a constraint may well be caused by your own actions or mind-set.
There will be holdups in your plans, obstacles in your path -
reasons to consider carefully before you act.
[07R]
Nauthiz  - Constraint (Reversed)
The Great Teacher, disguised as the Bringer of Pain and Hardship.
A cleansing is required. If successful, your will and character are
both strengthened. This troublesome time must be endured with modesty
and good temper:- remember that the original meaning of the word
'suffering' was simply 'undergoing'. By acknowledging that you cannot
evade the problem, you can face and overcome it. The best steel is
forged in the hottest flame.
[08]
Inguz    - Fertility
New beginnings... on a personal level, Inguz embodies your need to
share, the yearning to be desired, perhaps a search for
similarities. Inguz requires that you complete your beginnings; in
return it promises the strength to achieve completion, to reach a
resolution. If you have some project or goal, make it your first
priority to complete that task. From a mental perspective, perhaps
some difficult state of mind needs to be resolved, and quickly.
As the rune of new beginnings, Inguz may be warning you to free
yourself from a rut, a stale relationship, some habit or pattern,
perhaps.
[09]
Eihwaz   - Defence
There is a blockage in your path, although the delay this entails
may turn out to be beneficial. Eihwaz counsels patience; do not
rush forward blindly. Often this rune is interpreted as instruction
to wait, to let the tangled strands of fate unwind themselves.
It is unlikely that acting directly will affect the situation to
your advantage. Wait on the will of the Gods.
[10]
Algiz    - Protection
This rune is primarily concerned with the control of your emotions.
During times of change, perhaps quite stressful times, it is
important not to sink self-indulgently into your emotions. The pain
you may be feeling is a reminder that the battle of the spiritual
warrior is always with the self, not an external enemy. Also be
aware that the only true protection is timely action and correct
conduct. Do not try to deny what is happening, your protection lies
in knowing that by right action, you WILL progress.
[10R]
Algiz    - Protection (Reversed)
Look carefully at associations you may be in the process of forming,
or partnerships you already have. Algiz warns you that some other
entity intends to 'use' you in some manner. Look to your own
interests, and be informed that even if you do not win, you also do
not lose, for you have learned from the experience.
[11]
Fehu     - Possessions
Fulfilment, ambitions satisfied, reward for your endeavours. Do you
know the value of your gains? Are material things better than self
knowing? Look deeply within for the true answer. Fehu is sometimes
a warning not to gloat over success, but to share with others - a
well nourished self is defined by the ability to nourish others.
[11R]
Fehu     - Possessions (Reversed)
Beware of wide ranging dispossession. Your current course of action
may be leading you down the wrong path, and the almost certain outcome
will be loss of one kind or another. Even if such a loss occurs, what
can you learn from this situation? You may profit after all.
[12]
Wunjo    - Joy
One element of your self-transformation is complete, and you can now
enjoy the fruits of your labours. This positive rune promises much,
both material and spiritual; but the greatest gift it can bestow is
the transmutation of knowledge into true understanding. A time of
much achievement and happiness is heralded by this rune.
[12R]
Wunjo    - Joy (Reversed)
That which you seek seems frustratingly out of reach - the simple
birth you were expecting has turned into a long drawn out process.
Perhaps a crisis is at hand. Look to your defences, for by timely
right action, you can still achieve your goal.
[13]
Jera     - Harvest
Any activity or enterprise you are engaged on will come to a
beneficial ending. Jera advises you to keep your spirits up, for a
span of time may be involved. Like the harvest, a full cycle of the
year must be completed before you can reap. In addition, you can NOT
speed this process up. Tugging at the corn stalks will not make them
grow any faster.
[14]
Kano     - Opening
The sign of this rune is fire, and the light fire sheds on your own
personal darkness. Kano portends a time of renewed clarity, of light,
a clearness of vision; especially concerning the early stages of an
enterprise. With the essential knowledge of where you are going, you
can plan your route and arrive safely.
[14R]
Kano     - Opening (Reversed)
Darkness descending on some situation or relationship. Be warned
that failure to acknowledge this little death will constitute a
loss of opportunity. As one of the cycle runes, Kano reversed points
to the death of a way of life which has become invalid through growth.
Give up the old gladly, and prepare to live, for a short time, in the
wilderness. The new life you unfurl is necessary to your growth.
[15]
Teiwaz   - Warrior
This is the rune of the spiritual warrior. Always his battle is with
the self. The hallmark of the spiritual warrior is the willingness to
follow the flow, to let the will of the Gods go through and beyond him.
Patience is the message of this rune - action now may be counter
productive. If the issue is romantic, Teiwaz indicates that the
relationship is both timely and providential. A good match is likely.
[15R]
Teiwaz   - Warrior (Reversed)
By acting rashly, or too soon, you squander your energy fruitlessly.
There may be a question of trust or confidence in your relationship.
The counsel once again is PATIENCE.
[16]
Berkana  - Growth
Care and awareness are required. Go into the matter deeply, for
Berkana is one of the cycle runes, and indicates growth, either
materially or spiritually. The message of this rune is to consult
your motives. Are you acting from a sense of self, or for good
reasons? The blossoming this rune foretells is well worth the
patience and self sacrifice needed.
[16R]
Berkana  - Growth (Reversed)
Events or certain aspects of your character are interfering with
the growth of new life processes. Examine your part in what has
taken place. Have you put your WANTS above the NEEDS of others?
If so, no progress can be made. Consider how you would feel if
the situation was reversed.
[17]
Ehwaz    - Movement
The rune of transit. This may apply to any sphere of your life, be it
a new home, job, a new attitude to life. It can also indicate an
improvement, a 'bettering' in a situation. Whatever the question, the
answer is 'change is coming'.
[17R]
Ehwaz    - Movement (Reversed)
You actions may not be timely. The message here is to avoid action.
What is yours will ultimately come to you anyway.
[18]
Laguz    - Flow
This rune signals a time for cleansing, revaluing, realigning your
life. A call to self awareness may be the message of this rune, in
preparation for a period of self transformation. Success now depends
on going with your intuition, tuning in to your own innermost feelings.
[18R]
Laguz    - Flow (Reversed)
Be careful about overreaching yourself; be careful not to try too hard.
Your strength has limits - go beyond those limits and you may have
cause for regret. Laguz reversed can be a warning about the dangers
inherent in ignoring your own feelings. We all know what is good and
what is bad.
[19]
Hagalaz  - Disruption
This rune indicates a need to break free from material concerns and
remember what is actually important - self knowledge. There will be
disruption to your plans, for this rune is the 'Awakener' - forces and
events beyond your control are coming into effect. These forces may
not be external, they may be manifestations of the imbalance you
experience internally. At it's most forceful, this rune portends a
radical discontinuity to your life. Be warned, therefore be aware,
therefore turn what follows to your advantage by understanding it.
[20]
Raido    - Communication
Not everything can be accomplished by our own actions - sometimes
others must be involved. Clear communication is the only way to
achieve this. This rune does not necessarily imply other parties;
the communication heralded could be between you and your inner self.
[20R]
Raido    - Communication (Reversed)
Be attentive to personal relationships, for at this time, ruptures
are likely.Effort may be required from you; ensure you keep your
good humour.
On a deeper level, blockages in your path may actually be rerouting
opportunities. Remember that the only two destinations are union
and reunion.
[21]
Thurisaz - Gateway
The gateway is a place of inaction - the border between the mundane
and the divine. This rune may signify your readiness to pass through
a transformation of some sort, but be warned, as a rune of inaction,
Thurisaz demands that you contemplate very deeply before committing
to the passing. It may be necessary to let go of the past before
you can step through to your future...
[21R]
Thurisaz - Gateway (Reversed)
Hasty decisions now will cause regrets later. Observe the growth
process, and pause to make sure you understand the nature of the
changes you undergo. If you are in pain, be sure that you are not
suffering over your suffering! Before you act, check your motives,
for your impulses now must be tempered by thought or you may well
act from weakness, deceiving yourself all the while.
[22]
Dagas    - Breakthrough
The final rune in the cycle of transformation, Dagas heralds a 180
degree turn in attitudes; almost a rebirth after your long
transformation. A major period of achievement and prosperity is
often introduced by this rune. Night ends, the daylight appears.
This is not, however a license to behave recklessly, as that which
the Gods give, they can also take away.
[23]
Isa      - Standstill
The period of gestation that precedes a re-birth. All things have
come to a complete halt, and you may feel powerless to do anything
except submit. Positive accomplishment is unlikely now, you are
frozen into inactivity. The likelyhood is that you are clinging on
to some past notion, and it is this which has frozen you. Let go,
and you may bring on a thaw. Above all, be aware that stubbornly
trying to effect your will can accomplish nothing at this point.
[24]
Sowelu   - Wholeness
A rune of great power, making life force available to you. The
counsel now is to open yourself up, admit that which you have long
denied. In this way can you achieve wholeness, which is in essence
simply the self knowledge of your own being.
[25]
Odin     - The Unknowable
The blank rune can portend a death, but that death is usually
symbolic. It may relate to a relationship, a job, anything. On a
deeper level, Odin informs you that NOTHING is predestined,
everything can be avoided, given right thought and right
knowledge. Often this rune is a confirmation that the process of
self change is active in your life.
[00]
ODIN
